Thanks, Solidrock. Looks like that would be just the ticket for finding the errant Rodney II.

Sadly, I don't have a subscription this year, either.

And in the avoidance of doubt, Rod Slater definitely is alive and well. He released his debut album this Summer and is about to tour it!

Thanks for the input, guys!

Funny you should mention Rod Slater of the Bonzos. He was in the same flat and actually told me about this guy.

Rod, the tuba player, wasn't a professional, but was a member of the St. Martin's Jazz Band in 1961 alongside Rod Slater. Rod Slater became a Bonzo, and other Rod didn't.

By 1964 or so, Mr. Slater had moved into St. Mary's Terrace where he found the other Rod on the floor below. He can't remember his surname, but I thought that having the address - and names of both Slater and O'Neill as other residents - might help me find my man.

As I'm writing a huge history on the Bonzos' earliest years, knowing Rod the tubist's surname would be a useful addition. Hence the searching!

Hope this is useful. You lot have been :)

That's the one!

What I'm looking for is a surname. Around 1964 Mike O'Neill, then of the pop group Nero and the Gladiators, was living at one of the addresses on St. Mary's Terrace. On the floor above was living a tuba player named Rodney, now deceased, and his mother, also deceased.

I'm keen to find out Rodney's surname as he's an early member of a band I'm writing a history of.

Hence why I was hoping a street directory might help!

Good question, Ray. Thanks!

Being frightfully specific, I'm looking for St. Mary's Terrace on Paddington Green. That's 'Little Venice' in W2.

Hi,

Does anyone here have access to 1960s London Street directories, or are they available digitally, or from ancestry or anything?

Cheers!

If memory serves, I actually went through the Borthwick institute. But I'm fairly sure they had none.

TheNineteenth is NNR btw, just to avoid confusion!
